Talkin' with my hands

These are most of the words I know in baby sign language, it helps me get what I want without a lot of frustration... most of the time. I'm also saying new words everyday, now I can say and sign "more." Mama and Dada are so proud of me even though I'm a little hurricane... see the mess behind me :-).

My first photograph

I took this at the Farmer's Market on Thursday night. It's called "from far away." I have interest from several galleries. Let me know if you'd like me to reserve a signed print for anyone.

Is it February already?

Holy smokes how did it get to be February already? We've been busy I guess. Mom worked a lot over the past few days during the GRAMMYs and left me with my Dada every night. We had a good time, got to skip a couple baths and hang out in my jammies... YAY! Then Auntie E came and hung out and I got to stay up late! I like the GRAMMYs. I even got this swag bag.... what's swag?



Then my cousin Cory came to visit tonight. I like him a LOT. Here we are looking at cool pictures on his phone (Dada never let's me play with his phone) and hanging out at the Farmer's Market... like the shades? I hope he stays here in CA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Papa, me, Dada and Gami

Dada and me

I've had a pretty fun Holiday Season. Had tamales on Christmas Eve with Spencer and his folks in Santa Monica, Christmas Day at the Behnkens... I said "Howard"... everyone seemed to like that. :-) Then Gami and Papa came for New Year and we saw the Rose Parade floats and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I also have another tooth for the new year... that makes 8 so far... 4 on top and now 4 on the bottom. Maybe I can have corn on the cob this summer!

I'm so excited... is Santa here?


OMG! He is.. he is!


Remember me? I've been super good, may I have a pony?


I think I'm getting a pony!

A place of my own to sit... ah, the simple things.

A few weeks ago my Dad noticed that I had started to looking around for a seat my own size. I was sitting on the steps, empty boxes, a planter at Amy's (which I kept falling into) and basically anything I could find to rest my tush on and swing my legs. Mama made me a temporary "couch" out of her yoga bolster, but in the mean time the search was on for a chair. I found a perfect one at Pottery Barn Kid's, it was a perfect fit. What I did not know, was what my crafty (and budget-minded) Mama was thinking, "Eighty bucks for a baby chair? You've got to be kidding me?! I can do that." So while I've been sleeping she cobbled together some fabric she had and here we go. It's still not quite finished but she was too excited to show me, so here it is. :-)

Good Times!

Yesterday for Halloween we all went to the Farmer's Market. There were so many kids and Jen took me and my sister-in-law Jaffe for a walk about. Here we are trying to throw some moves to the BeeGees, but easily distracted by candy :-). We had a great time, here are a few pics as well.
